This guide provides the essential steps to configure your iCON V1-M and V1-X extenders in Cubase using the Bjoulc MIDI Remote Script. This setup utilizes a single script file to control all your devices.

Applies to: iCON V1-M, iCON V1-X, Cubase (v13.0.50+ MIDI bug noted), Bjoulc MIDI Remote Script.

I. Setup Overview

 

  • Single Script: Use one icon_v1_m.js file for all devices.
  • Central Config: This single file's devices array defines your entire V1-M/V1-X chain.
  • Hardware ID: Set unique "extender numbers" on each V1-X hardware unit.
  • Specific Folder: Place the script in a precise Cubase directory.

II. Installation Steps

1. Download Script

 

 

2. Edit Script File (One File)

 

  • Use: Plain text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, TextEdit Plain Text Mode). No MS Word.
  • Open: icon_v1_m.js.
  • Find: devices: ["main"],
  • Modify: List all V1 units, left-to-right.
    • Example (1 V1-M, 3 V1-X): devices: ["main", "extender", "extender", "extender"],
  • Save: The file.
     
IMPORTANT! You MUST remove Mackie Contol instances from your Studio Setup before initializing the script!

 

3. Place Script File

 

  • Navigate:
    • Win: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\Steinberg\Cubase\MIDI Remote\Driver Scripts\Local

    • macOS: /Users/<YourUsername>/Documents/Steinberg/Cubase/MIDI Remote/Driver Scripts/Local

    • (Create Local if missing).
  • Create Folders:
    • Inside Local, create icon.
    • Inside icon, create v1_m.
    • Result: ...\Local\icon\v1_m\
    • Names are case-sensitive.
  • Move: Your modified icon_v1_m.js into ...\Local\icon\v1_m\.

 

4. Configure Hardware

 

  • On each physical V1-X unit, set its "extender number" (e.g., 1, 2, 3).
  • Assign: Numbers sequentially from left to right, matching your devices array order.

 

5. Set Up in Cubase

 

  1. Restart Cubase.
  2. Open MIDI Remote:
    • Studio > Studio Setup > MIDI Remote OR Lower Zone "MIDI Remote" pane.
  3. Add Device: Click "+", select icon/v1_m.
  4. Assign Ports: Select MIDI Input/Output for your V1-M (primary unit).
    • The single script manages all V1-X units internally based on hardware numbering.
  5. Save: "Apply" / "OK".

 

III. Troubleshooting

 

  • Unresponsive (Cubase 13.0.50+): Disable/re-enable script in MIDI Remote Manager.
  • Conflicts: Disable old Mackie Control entries in Studio Setup.
  • Folder Errors: Double-check icon, v1_m folder names (spelling, case).
  • Ports Missing: Ensure all iCON devices are powered on/connected before opening Cubase.
